for the Bonds. The Bonds willbear a Certificate of Authentication to be manwilly executed by the Registrar, <br />and no Bond will be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless the Certificate of Authentication thereon has <br />been duly executed by the Registrar. <br />Book -Entry Only System <br />The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), New York, New York, or its successor, will act as <br />securities depository for the Bonds. The Bonds will be issued as fully registered securities in the name of <br />Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee). One fully -registered Bond certificate for each maturity will be <br />issued, in the aggregate principal amount of such maturity and will be deposited with DTC. <br />So long as Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the Bonds, payments of the principal of and <br />interest due on the Bonds will be payable directly to DTC. References herein to the registered owners of <br />the Bonds shall mean DTC or Cede & Co., and shall not mean the Beneficial Owners referred to below. <br />DTC is a limitedpurpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a 'banking <br />organization"withinthe meaningofthe New York Banking Law, a member ofthe Federal Reserve System, <br />a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a "clearing <br />agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A ofthe Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC <br />holds securities that its participants (the "Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the <br />settlement among Participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges in deposited <br />securities through electronic computerized book -entry changes in accounts of the Participants, thereby <br />eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include securities <br />brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain organizations. DTC is <br />owned by a number of its Direct Participants and by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American <br />Stock Exchange, Inc., and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC system <br />is also available to others such as securities brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies that clear <br />through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (the <br />"Indirect Participants"). The rules applicable to DTC and its Participants are on file with the Securities and <br />Exchange Commission. <br />Purchases of the Bonds under the DTC system may be made by or through Direct Participants, <br />which will receive a credit for the Bonds on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual <br />purchaser of the Bonds (the "Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded in the records of the applicable <br />DTC Direct or Indirect Participant. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of <br />their purchase, but Beneficial Owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the <br />transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through <br />which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Bonds are <br />to be accomplished by entries made on the books ofParticipants acting on behalf ofthe BeneficialOwners. <br />Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interest in Bonds, except in the <br />event that use ofthe book -entry system for the Bonds is discontinued.
